This Is It
this is it ! - joanne
i think this amazing piece of work was outstanding above all the rest you get a look inside the king of pop he might only be rehersing but you see what it is really like for him to prepare for a show .you get to see him as a person and not the preformer michael jackson you get to see michael the real person behind the bad publicity he recieved from the press and the media .this captures the hours work effort and energy to make his show the best it could be .you get to see the big plans he had in mind for his final big shows in the 02 arena in london. you see the love he puts into these 02 shows to make them all they could be he is sincerly the best.
